stay with meNEW!yangusukinii
A rock number that portrays a clumsy love swaying between reason and emotion.
Even knowing you’ll end up hurting someone important, some listeners may feel their chest tighten at the earnest wish—born of one’s own weakness—to have them stay by your side.
Kayayuu’s unadorned words intertwine with a band sound that seems to render emotional tremors directly into music, powerfully shaking the heart.
Featured as the lead track on the album “You Speak in Logic, I’m All Emotion,” released in February 2026, this song resonates deeply.
The music video’s shocking scenes of smashing objects in a room convey uncontrollable regret and pain.
It’s a track to sit with on nights when you carry feelings that can’t be resolved by right and wrong alone, yet still find yourself longing for someone.
loudmouthed womanNEW!yangusukinii
Have you ever lost your temper and hurled cruel words you didn’t mean at someone you care about? Neither side can back down, and before you know it, you’re trading barbs and hurting each other… This painfully real portrayal of a couple’s fight—and the regret that follows—is exactly what Young Skinny captures in this song.
Released in November 2025 as the lead track from the album “You Speak with Logic, I’m All Emotion,” which will drop in February 2026.
The down-to-earth lyrics penned by Kayayuu, where sound arguments and raw feelings collide, are bound to pierce listeners’ hearts.
If you listen to it on a night when you’re having a one-person postmortem—thinking, “I shouldn’t have said that”—it might help you accept your own weakness and give you the courage to apologize honestly.
It’s a song that makes you empathize with a clumsy kind of love.
Trash human, me.NEW!yangusukinii
Acknowledging your own flaws yet still yearning to be loved—that contradictory feeling.
Young Skinny’s latest work sets that earnest emotion to a high-velocity guitar rock sound.
It’s included on their major-label debut album, “If You Turn It Into a Song, You Can Get Away With Anything,” released in March 2023, and also drew attention as the theme song for the drama “Crime Family.” The lyrics, oscillating between a brazen front and deep self-loathing, will likely strike a painfully deep chord with anyone frustrated by love or relationships that just won’t go right.
It’s a heart-wrenching rock number you’ll want to play on nights when you can’t help blaming your helpless self, or when you’re feeling sentimental.
Veranda feat. Kanano SenritsuNEW!yangusukinii
A collaboration track by Young Skinny that carries a bittersweet feeling, like exhaling wavering emotions along with cigarette smoke on a balcony steeped in the scent of everyday life.
Released digitally in February 2024, it’s included on their major-label second EP, “Bukiyō na Watashi Dakara” (Because I’m Clumsy).
The band welcomes their first-ever guest feature, Kanano Senritsu, and the sound—where a chill beat intertwines with keyboard tones—feels so pleasant.
Many listeners will likely relate to the unstable relationship portrayed through Kayau’s raw lyrical expressions and the rap parts that weave together male and female perspectives.
Capturing hearts across social media, the song reached No.

Maybe it didn’t have to be you after all.NEW!yangusukinii
A rock number by Young Skinny that puts into raw words the end of an ambiguous relationship and the self-loathing that crashes over you after a breakup.
The lyrics spun by Kayu speak not in pretty platitudes but carve out the pain of love, likely striking deep in listeners’ hearts.
Included on their major-label 1st EP, “Donna Koto ni Demo Shiawase o Kanji Rukoto ga Dekita Nara,” released in September 2023, it also drew attention as the opening theme for the drama “When the Intercom Rings.” This track rides muddy, swamp-like emotions atop a driving guitar-rock sound, promising to gently stay close to you on nights when your feelings won’t neatly add up.
It’s a must-listen for anyone caught in a restless, unsettling romance or still nursing the wounds of heartbreak.

Released in December 2022 as Young Skinny’s final indie single, it was later included on the album “I Thought Anything Would Be Forgiven If I Turned It Into a Song.” It’s also known as an insert song for ABEMA’s dating show “Koisuru ♥ Shuumatsu Homestay 2023 Spring ~Sweet Orange Memory~.” The band’s first-ever use of strings matches the chilly winter atmosphere and really seeps into the soul.
It’s a song that gently stays by your side on those nights when you try to forget but just can’t.
